Frequently Asked Questions

No. Radon is a separate test, but it can run at the same time as your inspection and the results go into the same report.

At least 48 hours. The monitor records the whole time, and you’ll have your report by the end of the day we pick it up.

Yes. Radon comes from the ground, not from the age of the house. New homes, slabs, crawl spaces and basements can all have it.

Ask when the test was done, who did it, and under what conditions. If it’s old, was a DIY kit, or the house has been renovated since, a new test gives you a current number you can rely on.

Radon can be fixed. Your report gives you the numbers to talk to the seller about a repair or to get quotes from a certified mitigation contractor. We measure; we don’t do mitigation, so there’s no conflict of interest.

Results are measured in picocuries per liter (PEE-koh-KYOOR-eez, not piccalilli 😉). The EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or higher and considering a fix between 2 and 4.

Yes. Homeowners can book a test any time. Winter is a good time because the house is closed up.
